burgess is genius" is the comment hear
OIL evsry hand, when the subject of the speed
of Gen. Paine's new yacht, the Volunteer, is
broa he'd. In her brief career, she has salts
fncurriiy demonstrated that the maximum of
speed in yachts has not yet been reached. 1t
is g,,.a=r,,iiy conceded here by yachtsmen that
the Volunteer will be the vessel selected
Il, def,.nI the "America" cup. and it is
also regarded as equally certain that she
will defend it successfully. If this
surmise should prove to be correct
in both particulars, the Volunteer will have
been the third successful cup defender that
Mr.. Burgess has designed. First the sup

the Gemesta. bat was compelled to succumb the

to ouis,d. line Puritan. Every one knows how
the Mayflower easily won from the Galatea,
but il now looks as if MIR. Burgess baby the

her ileet footed elder sisters, with either of
whom, in my opinion, the crack Scotch
Thistle would have no reasonable chance of

General Asa ROGERS, late Second
Auditor Of Virginia, died at his resi-
dence at Middleburg yesterday. This
announcement will be received with
profound regret throughout the Com
monwcalth. General RoGERs had long
passed the age of three-score and ten,
ard all the years he was with us were
years marked by the garnering Of the
respect, esteem, and love of his fellow
citizens. lie was truly Yirginian Of
the olden type, and an honor to the
society ard the circle of public mn
of bis State. He was courteous,
amiable, and polished in a marked de-
gee, but true TO his convictions and
utterly fearless in the discharge Of his
duty in whatever position he was
placed. General ROGERS was a man of
sterling integrity, Of high cultivation,
ard Of the noblest impulses. Much of
Lis lie was given to the service of Vir-
einia, that service being rendered most
ccnspicuously in the State Senate and
in the Office of Second Auditor In
both these capacities he was equally
faithful and true-was III all re-
spects a public servant. He never
ceased to take deep interest in
Virginia politics and held it to be q sa-
cred duty to vote. The Last time the
writer saw him was on an election-dGy.
He General EoGEBs) had come all the
way from New York to Richmond to
vote tue Democratic ticket. lie was in
the best of health, but remarked to us
that he had driven directly from the
depot to the polls for fear that death
might overtake him before he could
cast his ballot. This illustrates hislOve
for Virginia. who may well mourn such
a devoted son.

The King-the people-must count for

And why are we to hold elections in
Virginia this fall? Shall it be said
after the Sth of November that they
were held for the purpose of returning
MALONE to the United States Senate?
Is Virginia to have him pointed out for
six more years as her representative in
tho highest Legislative body In the
world ?
We mentioned yesterday few OF
MAHoNE's offences against the public.
But the greatestinjury he has everdone
to his mother States good name was
his occupancy of seat in the United
States Senate for six years. Surely the
people of Virginia will not allow that
offence to be repeated.

Another Appeal for the Condemned
Auarchtsts.
ny telegraph to the Dispa'ch.l


CHICAGO, September 20.-The com
mittee having III charge the circulation
Of the petition begging mercy for the
Condemned anarchists have concluded
that the mild form OF prayer originally
adopted will not meet the views Of
those who have "adyanced ideas" on
the subject and consider the convicted
men not as criminals but as martyrs
To obtain the signatures OF such the
following has been adopted, and will
lie circulated in addition to the first
designed petition
10 Ills ErcciicHcy Richard D. Ogies-
Jy, Governor Of Illinois:
The undersigned having watched
with grcatinterest the progress Of events
in connection with and since tho trial
in Chicago of the so-called Anarchists
August Spies, Michael Schwab, Oscar
Neebe. Albert r. Parsons, Samuel
Fielden, Adolph Fischer, Louis Linyg,
and George Engel, and believing that
the sentence against them was and is
unwarranted by the evidence, extreme
in its severity, and induced by a view
of the law never hitherto sanctioned 10y
any well -considered precedent, and that
the accused were not shown to have
been guilty of throwing or causing to
be thrown the bomb at the sO-called
Haymarket meeting and being advised
in effect by the statement OF the
prosecution in said cause that these
men were selected aud proceeded
against simply because of their position
as leaders in the general labor agitation,
which seems TO us as unwarranted rs 1t
is injurious and calculated to embitter
wage workers still further against the
present social order; and believing that
in a case of this kind humanity and
the State are better served by mercy
than by rigorous execution of judg-
ment, the justice Of which is questioned
by very many of our people, respect
fully protest against the execution
thereof and bespeak in the name Of
Justice, mercy, and humanity the ex-
ercise by your Excellency OF executive
clemency IN the cases of these men.
Justice Miller, OF the United States
Supreme Court, to whom the Anarch-
lists propose to present their case, was
interviewed to-day, and said: "Such
case is usually taken before one Of the
justices, and as a rule before the jus.
tice of the district. In this case JUS
tice Harlan should be seen. He is not
in Chicago now but in Washington,
where he will be for some time. 1t is
very rare that cases of criminal ma
ture come before the Supreme Court,
and when they do they are usual
~ cases where violation of the
Federal laws are charged. 1t is
very rare, indeed, that the Supreme
Court ever touches q case decided by
the State court. The Anarchists, to get
their cases before the Supreme Court,
must prove that the constitutional rights
of the prisoners or the Federal laws
were broken in the trial. l consider
the case the most important tried in
this country for years. These fellows
seem to have made Chicago their head
quarters. They havemore friends here
than anywhere else in the country"

Extra Session Of Conrrass.

Representative WILKINS, of Ohio,
who had Just come from New York to
Washington, informed Post reporter
on Monday night that it is generally
expected in financial circles that the
President will call an extra session Of
Congress, to meet early in November,
10 take some steps to release the Trea-
sury surplus and prevent financial
panic and he is OF opinion himself
that it ought to be done and will be
done.
We favored an extra session of Con.
eress when some months ago the sub
Jet was up for discussion. We had
supposed, however, before the Post
brought US the information recorded
above, that there was no longer any
probability or rather possibility that
one would be held. We quote the
Post:
"The panic" said Mr.. Wilkins, els
not only impending, but it has already
begun. Stocks went down several
points all round to-day. Money is
scarce. Brokers can borrow money
only on call. They want it on time
and they can't get 1t. Allthe Treasury
can do in the way of redeeming and
buying bonds and anticipating the pay
mont of interest Will not be sufficient to
relieve the market, and the legality Of
the Treasurys action in the matter Of
buying bonds is questionable. If Con-
gross is not called in special session
there will he waste Of time. For the
first month or six weeks nothing
will be done. But if the Presi
dent calls an extra session to
meet in November for tho purpose Of
reducing the Treasury surplus the
members will come to Washington
with Insurgency of that subject on their
minds and there will be no immediate
action. have no doubt at all that if
sn extra session is called a comprehen
sive hill of revenue reform will be pass
ed and the threatened panic will be
averted.
We would rather believe that Mr..
WILKINS is panic-stricken himself than
that the country is in the desperate
condition in which he represents it to

Southern sympathy for the Negro.

ARANANeA - ~ 80 l|'%NA~J 49, ~ '~F1-N
The Macon Telegraph, in discussing
the race question in the South, says;
1--WE assert that there is nowhere
else in this country SO much genuine
sympathy for the negro as inshe south
ern States, and that 1t is strongest and
best with the men who have not in the
past made any concessions upon the
race question and who do not propose
TO mako any in the future that will re-
cult only in the degradation of the
white man.
That is the truth in nutshell and
though the negro will vote at every
election against the class of whites re-
ferred to be fully appreciates the fact
that they constitute hls best friends aud
have genuine sympathy for him. The
best evidence of this is that he cannot
be tempted 10 leave the southern States
for the North, despite the fact that at
the North he can get higher wages.
The negro does not as voter display
much sense, bat he is sharp enough to
keep in striking distance Of those upon
whom he can depend for real sympathy
and substantial aid in his time Of need.
